Consistent way of results from diffent subcommands #22

We need this so we will be able to write tests.

I recommend a tupple of (error_code, results), where results can be anything. This way we might evolve not only in command line interface but also in usable library.

Depends on: #25

If everything went fine, it'll give a result.

If anything went wrong, an exception is raised and we don't even get a return to begin with. So far all exceptions are fatal, but with a different front-end this doesn't have to be of course.

When it comes to tests, it should indeed include forced errors, but then the test should catch the error through a try: except: construction.
